In my third trimester I started getting terrible pains in my legs, an aching and crawling sensation that got worse at night. My doctor said that restless legs syndrome often runs in families. I pray that research supported by the RLS Foundation will find a cure so that I won’t pass RLS on to my beautiful baby girl.Keesha, Atlanta, Georgia
